Our family is doing the Whole 30 and we are almost finished with week one. YAY!!! The weather turned cold here in TX and it even snowed (iced) a bit. Y’all, when I say that it turned cold….it was freezing! I’m not a fan of cold weather and I don’t want to leave my house until spring. Normally on snow days, we will snuggle up by the fire, read a book or watch a movie and eat popcorn. As soon as I saw the snow flurries, my mind turned to my comfort food. Of course, I ignored the craving but isn’t it funny how we associate certain things with comfort food. Oh the struggle….

We have a busy week coming up, so I took that into consideration when planning the menu. Most of our breakfasts are simple. We love eggs and it doesn’t bother us to eat it everyday. Tristyn takes co-op classes so we are on the go several days and our lunches are mainly leftovers. I also plan to utilize my kitchen helpers (Instant Pot and Crock Pot) as much as possible durning the Whole 3o.

Usually, week 1 brings detox symptoms and die-off. If you are struggling with detox symptoms (nausea, exhaustion, headaches, cravings, or crankiness), know that this is normal. Keep going. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (add lemon), take detox baths, take a good Probiotic, (this one is my favorite), make sure you are eliminating, and get plenty of rest. If you are tired, rest. Let your body recover….and don’t feel guilty about it!!

*This weekend we will be at a volleyball tournament. My girl likes to eat after ever. single.game. We will pack chicken salad because it is plenty of protein, grapes, strawberries, mini-peppers, raw nuts, and RX bars.
